EPA is requesting applications from eligible entities (as described in Section III.A) to conduct demonstrations, technical assistance, training, education and/or outreach projects that seek to improve public health protection against smoke from wildfires by enhancing preparedness in community buildings. EPA is requesting applications for the assessment, prevention, control, or abatement of wildfire smoke hazards and related activities that target public buildings and/or buildings that serve the public, but privately owned or operated. Activities will improve the capability and capacity of communities and buildings to effectively reduce indoor concentrations of air pollutants in wildfire smoke, especially particulate matter (PM).

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as part of its Science to Achieve Results(STAR) program, is seeking applications proposing research that will address how measurable attributes of water quality improvements can be valued, either directly or through indicators.Research under this Request for Applications (RFA) is intended to focus on national level studies and/or valuation for underrepresented water body types and regions, improvements to waterquality indices, and environmental justice valuation.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Research and Development (ORD), as part of the Science to Achieve Results (STAR) program and in collaboration with the Air, Climate, and Energy (ACE) research program, is seeking applications proposing research on municipal solid waste landfill air emissions. Specifically, this request for applications (RFA) is soliciting research that addresses the following research priorities: How can cost effective stationary, mobile, aerial, and remote sensing technologies be combined to more easily and accurately quantify landfill methane emissions, hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and other air pollutant emissions from municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills? How can cost effective stationary, mobile, aerial, and remote sensing measurements be used to increase ease of use and evaluate mitigation strategies and technologies to identify best landfill management practices? The Science to Achieve Results (STAR) Program’s goal is to stimulate and support scientific and engineering research that advances EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment. It is a competitive, peer-reviewed, extramural research program that provides access to the nation’s best scientists and engineers in academic and other nonprofit research institutions.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications from eligible applicants as described in Section III.A to provide training and technical assistance for rural, small, and tribal publicly owned wastewater treatment works and decentralized wastewater treatment systems for the prevention, reduction and elimination of pollution. Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 104(b)(8) requires that the funds are used for training and technical assistance to support the following three components: • Component 1: Acquisition of Financing • Component 2: Protect Water Quality and Achieve Clean Water Act Compliance • Component 3: Disseminate Planning, Design, Construction, and Operation Information Training and technical assistance activities provided should be made available nationally in rural, small, and tribal communities.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is soliciting applications to provide training and technical assistance to rural, small, and tribal municipalities, publicly owned wastewater treatment works, and decentralized wastewater treatment systems for the prevention, reduction, and elimination of pollution. Eligible activities include training and technical assistance only. Infrastructure construction projects such as repairing water or sewer lines, adding new equipment, or upgrading, retrofitting, or rehabilitating existing equipment are not eligible for funding under this announcement.

EPA Region 5 is soliciting applications that address at least one of the two Sustainable Materials Management priorities identified in Section I below. These projects benefit states in Region 5, which includes Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Minnesota.

This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications that support the EPA Sustainable Materials Management Program, for the benefit of States or communities within EPA Region 2 (New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and eight Indian Nations). Sustainable Materials Management (SMM) is a systemic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their entire life cycles. It represents a change in how our society thinks about the use of natural resources and environmental protection. By looking at a product's entire life cycle, we can find new opportunities to reduce environmental impacts, conserve resources and reduce costs. Specifically, this RFA addresses the following programmatic priorities: Sustainable Management of Food, and Sustainable Packaging.

This notice announces the availability of funds and solicits applications from eligible entities to serve as the Secretariat for the International Network for Environmental Compliance and Enforcement (INECE). INECE promotes capacity building for compliance and enforcement of domestic and international environmental laws through information sharing, networking, and cooperation. INECE is not part of the United States Government. INECE is comprised of regional environmental enforcement and compliance assurance networks, practitioners from governmental agencies, international organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academia across the globe and is dedicated to promoting cooperation among these stakeholders on environmental compliance and enforcement.
